Bales & Lamb's Marketplace was founded over 60 years ago by the Findley and Lamb families respectively. In 2004 Signature Northwest, LLC a locally owned investment group was formed to specifically address the need for the continued presence of the successful local independent grocery store. They believe that the locally owned and operated grocery store is an integral part of a vibrant community and help strengthen the economy by providing jobs with competitive pay, supporting local farmers, ranchers, and other like-minded businesses. The acquisition of Bales Market and Lamb's Market will assure the continued presence of these integral local grocery stores to their communities.

Today Signature Northwest LLC operates four Bales & Lamb's Marketplace in the Portland Metropolitan area that continues in the tradition of what the Findley and Lamb families started by focusing service, quality, and value while supporting the community.
